Getting Results From Software Development Teams
Getting Results From Software Development Teams is book about software projects management. Author of this book, Lawrence J. Peters, is one of the veterans in field who has worked on software projects management over 40 years. I think it is solid experience to share with others. The book is pretty new – it was published in June 2008.
Getting Results From Software Development Teams is not another witchery book that gives us mysterious advices how to make miracles in projects. Also this book doesn’t go too deep with theory. Through eight solid chapters we get overview of activities of project managers in different project stages.
This book is not easiest reading for sure. You have to think when you read because otherwise you may miss some very important points. All topics in this book appear in logical order that make up a perfect whole. I think this book is mandatory reading for project managers and suggested reading for developers who want to be the best ones. Without understanding other peoples role in project makes it hard to be a good team member.
